Winner of the 2009 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour

The cops wanted to shoot me, my bosses thought I was a Bolshevik, and a local lawyer warned me that some people I was writing about might try to test the strength of my skull with a steel pipe. What more could any young reporter hope for from his first real job?

The hilarious story of a 22-year-old journalist from Vancouver who takes a job as a reporter for the Williams Lake Tribune. His stint in the legendary Cariboo town is a wild ride to another world and another era. Adapted from the award-winning novel, Never Shoot a Stampede Queen is an unforgettable comic memoir of a city boy learning to love life in a cowboy town.

In the News

"In this stage adaptation of his book Never Shoot a Stampede Queen: A Rookie Reporter in the Cariboo, Georgia Straight contributor Mark Leiren-Young mines the comedy from his time as a journalist at the Williams Lake Tribune."
